Thanksgiving for the call of home

I have an essay in the Dallas Morning News about how my sister Ruthie’s death and the response of my hometown community caused me to rethink my priorities, and plan to move next month back to where I grew up. If you’re a DMN subscriber, you can read it behind the paywall. If not, well, regular readers of this blog will have heard most of it. I’m grateful to the News for giving me a chance to write about this for a newspaper audience on Thanksgiving weekend.
